If she didn't stay a virgin, why is she called "The Virgin Mary"?
2007-01-19 11:57:01 · update #1
SHE DID NOT!
The Bible tells us she had SONS & Daughters.
Only the RC Cult teaches she remained EVER VIRGIN!
Another invention of theirs.

Have you read the Bible... She didn't stay a virgin...She had several other children with Joseph. She is forever called the Virgin Mary, because Jesus' birth was so miraculous!

Mary was a young woman that is a virgin. In Hebrew she was called an "almah" which means a young woman who never had a man. A Bethulah is a virgin that never had a man but is an older woman even a spinster.
The Bible prophesies that an almah shall conceive= that means a supernatural phenomena.
Josheph who was engaged to her to be married never had any sexual relations with her till after she had given birth and after he married her.Joseph Was well informed by An Angels of what miracle is taking place about the Messhiah ( The Prince of Peace)
Mary remains theYoung woman (almah)who was conceived by the Holyspirit. This phenomena is beyound our human understanding ,Nevertheless that is what was prophesied in the book of the Prophet Isaiha and this was fullfiled according to the book of the New testament.

So there would be no doubt that it was Gods son. Mary waited until after Jesus was born to have relations with Joseph and they had other children.

Mary didn't stay a virgin after Jesus was born. Jesus had brothers, children of Mary and Joseph, one of whom has a book of the Bible named after him (James).

If you read and know about Jewish culture pf the time...and as Jesus and John the Baptist where both Fathist Jews...John the priest and Jesus the King of the 2 Messiah's...one know what would have happened
Mary under Jewish law would have married Joseph's brother automatically when Joseph died ...she then had children the half brothers and sisters of Jesus.
Also
Jesus himself married Mary Magdalene
and had 5 or 6 children mainly girls, in true Jewish extend family along with his disciple's..soon to be again on earth once it is renewed

The Bible does not call her the "Virgin Mary"...it just says she was a virgin when she became pregnant with Jesus

Mary did not stay a Virgin after Jesus was born for she had several other children after Jesus.. Also it was is the Catholic Church that gave her that false title.. Jesus told Mary that she is just an ordinary woman And that is biblical. But the Catholic Church going against Jesus word and following a Pagan religious trend just change things. But it was just their request for power and greed, that made it easier for them to become religious pagans... Who thinks that their knowledge is greater than that of Jesus and or Gods...................................................

Who said Mary Stayed a Virgin, it doesn't say in the bible she remained a Virgin just that she Gave a Virgin birth. they stop following her after that in the Good Book.

She didn't stay a virgin. Jesus was born of a virgin birth, but after tthat she had children with Joseph.
Mt 13:55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas?
Mt 1:24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
Mt 1:25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
Although I have heard some Catholics claim she stayed one.

She didn't. She and Joseph had children besides Jesus. It is said that one of them, James, took Mary to finish out her days in Ephesus, Turkey. You can see her house there.
